Fix-it Friday #88 at i heart faces!

Friday is for fixing-it at "i heart faces"
This week's photo was provided by Angie Arthur photography, an IHF contributor.

A girl about the age of my daughter and a decent exposure - what a great photo to edit!

Colour
I thought this would work well with a soft and warm feel to it.
Workflow:
- RGB S-curve,
- bumped-up the reds
- ran an action at low opacity
- sharpened the eyes a bit but they are out of focus
- high-pass filter

Black and white
I love contrasty black and whites!
Workflow:
- gradient map
- S-curve - enough to add contrast while avoiding blowing the whites and blacks
- bump up the reds a wee bit
- high-pass filter

Great fixes, Donna! I'm just starting to fiddle with post processing so I love that you explained which filters you used. I'd love to see more before-and-after!

Thanks Lynn. I will definately put up some more in the future. Are you using Photoshop? Let me know if my explanations need some explaining.
